TRENDS & TECHNIQUES
Talented cake decorators such as Cristina
Cinquino demonstrated intricate techniques at
the Satin Ice booth during the Atlantic Bakery
Expo, and Satin Ice featured scores of new ideas

she adds. "Our goal is to post guidelines
for what cake decorators can do and not
do on the RBA website (www.retailbakersofamerica.org)."
